Machine learning for faster stroke diagnosis

Patient CT photos are scanned and immediately compared with hundreds of thousands of other patient results. Almost any deviation from a normal CT is quickly detected.

With current methods, medical imaging errors can occur when emergency room radiologists miss subtle aspects of brain scans, leading to delayed treatment. Fast detection of stroke can prevent paralysis and death.

The company claims that it can detect irregularities more accurately than a human can. Findings are presented as 3D brain images, enabling a doctor to make better informed decisions. The cloud-based system allows scans to be uploaded from any location.
